Multi-Agency Coordination Group for Pandemic Flu
About the MAC
The threat of Pandemic Influenza has received considerable attention worldwide. In response to this threat, the State of Alaska established a Multi-Agency Coordination (MAC) Group co-chaired
by the Departments of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) and Health and Social Services (DHSS) to address pandemic influenza issues in Alaska. The MAC Group also established a subordinate Incident Management Team (IMT) to address the operation side of preparing for and responding to an influenza pandemic. The MAC Group is accomplishing high-level interagency
coordination and establishing policy objectives, priorities, and directives for the IMT.
The Governor signed Administrative Order 228 on January 9, 2006 to support this process. The Administrative Order directs all State agencies to work cooperatively to prepare for, and respond to a pandemic influenza outbreak in Alaska. It is critical to work cooperatively with our partners inside and outside State government.
